Grand Canal, Venice, Italy

Boats moored on the Grand Canal outside the Rialto Market, Venice, Italy. The market was opened here in the 11th century and sells locally caught lagoon and seafood and other fresh produce. Many of the houses and palazzos fronting the canal here are in Venetian Gothic style, a style originating in the 14th century and combining Gothic lancet arches with Byzantine and Moorish influences. The city of Venice is an archipelago of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon. The historical centre of Venice is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
